They are certainly the cheapest of the five listed (by a long chalk) and according to the review, fairly waterproof, so for the price they are definitely worth a punt.

I imagine if you did any serious walking in them, the soles would ware down fairly quickly, but then that is true of most boots/shoes that don't have vibram soles (well it is for me).

As I do do a fair bit of walking, I do go now for boots with vibram soles and you can easily spend a fortune on otherwise average boots, that have such soles. But if you shop around there are bargains out there.

I picked up a pair of Karrimor Orkney 5's for £29.99 in the Sports Direct sale, good chunky soles with decent grip, have proven to be waterproof in heavy rain and mud, easy to clean and VERY comfortable to ware. I try to walk at least five miles, every other day (and at least ten miles one day a week) and they haven't failed me yet or shown signs of wear and tear. So I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who does a fair bit of walking.

But for anyone just looking for a decent outdoor boot, to amble about in, at £13 the FTD's would definitely get my vote
